I loved your reactions to these movies!!! please continue and dont let negativity get you down! also really enjoy your commentary! Really appreciate that you made it free to watch!
Aw thank you, you're an angel 🖤 I'm continuing of course, I'm now battling with the second half of the movie, hopefully it will be on RUclips Thursday!
RUclips is rediculous with copyright striking. Thank you for making the full reaction available to us. Im sorry there are always people who are rude & try to find things to complain about, but its just plain old negativity from angry people, don't let it bother you.
People often seem upset that Aragorn told Theoden not to kill Grima, but there's a lot of reasons for it. It's mostly a matter of law- Grima didn't actually break any. So if the previously senile & mentally unsound king just got up & killed his top advisor, instead of inspiring loyalty it would give the impression that he had lost his mind. The default punishment for his treason would probably be banishment, the same as Eomer. So it makes sense that he would immediately try to flee when he got the chance, before they could imprison him. Grima is very unlikable & cowardly, but his hope was that he could rule Rohan as an ally of Saruman to avoid a real war with him. I always thought that in some ways he is a tragic character, his greed & lust for power ironically making him all the more subservient to it. He's not even really a villain, just a greedy political advisor who was scared of Saruman, so he did what he said
Yes, but I still feel like when you're at war, this is a really bad move, that gives the enemy a huge advantage. I would have at least kept him imprisoned, so he doesn't go blabbing about Rohan's weaknesses 🤔
@@viyctoriyareactsyou are definitely right, even if exile was the typical action that would be taken, in this context imprisonment would have been more appropriate. The best explanation I have is that Grima knew that too, so he made good on his escape before he could be taken into custody. Theoden had just come out of his coma, so he didnt really understand how much had happened or how much Grima was responsible for- he wasn't yet aware that his son was dead, that Eomer has been exiled, or even that Saruman had already started an invasion. If he had that information, he might have had a better understanding of the situation & been able to charge Grima with actual crimes like treason/conspiracy. Grima probably knew that would happen if he waited, so he immediately fled the country. Its frustrating, but the reason it is Aragorn who tells him to let him go is because he understands that the role of a king is still to uphold the law, not to hold himself above it. It may seem naive or ineffective, but it's those same rules that protect innocent people too, so it's important for a ruler to adhere to the rule of law. If "Because I am the King" was an acceptable explanation for any behavior, Saruman could have used his power over him to do even more damage to Rohan, so from that perspective it's a good thing there's due process there.
@@bitterzombie On top of that, Aragorn as the oldest one there with his 87 years saw maybe both of them growing up as little kids, so he couldnt stand having those rascals killing each other in a fit of rage, and wanted to give Grima a chance to reform his bad ways...
35:50 I think it’s around here, but maybe it’s only in some versions of the film. In the book, Tolkien included the thoughts about the dead enemy, and the corpses in the swamp seen earlier, because of his own experiences as a soldier in the First World War. If I remember correctly, Tolkien said he killed a German soldier but spent some time afterwards wondering how different he was from the dead man, and when that dead soldier had even come to fight by choice or if he was forced to
No ma’am, you’re not bad for feeling for golem. I just fell in that hole myself as well. Unfortunately it wasn’t in this film though it was in the third segment of this trilogy that golem got me in my feels.I still can’t thank you enough for your subscription and advice hope everything is going well ma’am. I have a friend that sent me some of his music and gave me permission to use it so I am. Only took me 9 hours to put together my next intro for the next episode of the anime show so tune in and see what 30 seconds of 9 hours work looks like 🤬😂😂😂😭😭. Once I get it posted, still working on the editing 😩😩😩
@@viyctoriyareacts unfortunately, it got blocked so now I’m back to editing on that one, I’m sure you’re familiar, but I do have a new one that should be up in the next couple of hours that you’re welcome to check out it’s a political video called Candace on The View and my introduction is my best editing to date between the lyrics of the soundtrack and the visuals displayed that combine to tell the story I wanted to tell then I snuck my children in at the end on the title of my channel. Plus I’m staying with the format of my commentary with the full screen and I honestly think I was most comfortable in my commentary in this video. SO GLAD THAT YOU DONT MIND LONG COMMENTS 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much for the free longer patreon video 😮 I already loved you, but you managed to grow even higher in my eyes Victoria ❤ Cant wait for the other parts, i hope those will be easier for you 😊
No, Victoria, you aren't wrong for feeling for Golum. Compassion comes from strength and doesn't mean you have to tolerate the intolerable or ignore or accept damaging behavior.
Thanks for providing that link to us. Much appreciated. I enjoyed your reaction once again. I, for one, am a big fan of your paused commentary. I watch to feel your emotions, and to hear your opinions and intuitiveness. You have a unique softness/hardness that is endearing. Pause if you want to pause. Don't be afraid to BE YOU. You add a lot of enjoyment to us just by being your true self. Thanks again for sharing with us.
Sometimes you have to work with what you got and make the best of it. Job well done. Heh, if I had one criticism about your commentary it would be that you stop the movie to ask a question and I laugh because I it will be answered in the next 10 seconds. I see a lot of reviewers who agree that Theoden should have killed Grima as Grima was being thrown out of Edoras. Cinematically, I believe that it was to show the nobility of Aragorn, we are seeing his transformation from a backwoods ranger to a noble king. He still has a part to play in the movie. However, the movie does change this scene a bit. They don't change it drastically, but enough that I noticed it, especially since it is my favorite scene in the trilogy. It really stuck with me when I read them for the first time as a kid. When Grima is found out, he escapes and flees the halls. Tolkien then wrote how a guard ran and got water in his helm and syaryed washing the very steps that Grima has touched while escaping. I do wish they had played up the colors of the Wizards a bit more. I can see why they didn't though. It would have been hard to introduce the idea without sounding like a lecture. But Saruman has changed himself from Saruman the White to Saruman of the Many Colors. This would have made the freeing of Theoden that much more poignant when Gandalf throughs his grey cloak away and reveals his new color to Saruman. Anyway, keep up the good work, I am enjoying the story once again. And may you turn into a reader of Tolkien as well.
I knowww sometimes I pause, ask a question and feel dumb when they answering two seconds later lol 😂😅 The way the situation with Grima was written in the book seems more easy to understand than in the movie
@@viyctoriyareacts I agree. What made this and epic tale when I first read them was the fact that violence wasn't always the first answer to things. That somehow made the stories stand taller in my mind when I read them. It would be easy just to say kill Grima, kill Gollum or kill Boromir (😮). But Tolkien deals with complex issues which are not easily handled with just simple solutions.
Very well done again , thank you. I am very sorry to hear that some people made rude comments. Those that did so should instead choose not to watch your reaction video. I do not think you need to change your style/approach at all. You are perceptive. I appreciate your questions, speculations, and critical comments as you encounter this film. I do not wish you would reduce their number . As for the timing, I hope you will comment just when you feel like doing so, i.e. without regard for timing. Cheers.
thank you very much. I liked it very much. Please keep up the good work. By the way, a very melodic voice that we would definitely like to hear more of. thank you very much for the unmuted video.
It might be a clever idea to rewind the video you are reacting to for a few seconds to refresh your mind into the flow of the scene after every review comment you make? Great reactions!
Ok, I clicked on the link and was able to hear everything. Thank you so much. I know you are new to this reacting and might make a few mistakes but, you do learn and make it better. It’s your channel so, you do what you want. Don’t let negativity from commenters dissuade you.
I actually appreciate that you pause to comment because it means you are giving time to your thoughts and not missing out on potentially important details by commenting over them the way some others do.
I love your thoughts and empathy for Gollum and his possible multiple personality disorder. Once you've finished the third movie, you might enjoy reading en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_illness_in_Middle-earth. Looking forward to the upcoming parts
Regarding Grima, as Gandalf said: "“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends."
As an ex-psychology student, this article looks so interesting to me, I'm keeping it to read it after I finish watching the second half of the last movie, thank you! 😊
Aww thank you so much, your comment is so sweet, I'm happy to know that you're enjoying the ride with me 🥰 (and I saw your other comment, glad to see that you found the link)
Hello, I really liked your previous reaction to the first movie, don't let bad comments affect your content, generally it's always people who just want to annoy, there are very few of them but they tend to be the loudest, and well, it's a shame that Warner is so annoying with its content
Ma pean ütlema et kogu see saaga on lihtsalt hinge ja vaimu kosutav märkimisväärsus ise. Ja kõige huvitavam ongi gollum, kes oma rumalusest sattus sõrmuse mõju alla ja muutus selliseks nagu ta on. Väga halb saatus ühele ja kõigile, kes selle mõju all on. Tolien tegi igatahes ühe huvitava teose ja nad järgivad peaaegu kõike mis raamatus on. Samahästi oleks jäänud teised osad erimeelsuste õhtu tegemata ja poleks me nii õnnelikud
FOR THE UNMUTED VIDEO 🖤:
